What They're Saying

Critics Review

“A lively role-reversing family story…Makechnie invites readers into a sometimes frenetic household that’s frequently suffused with love and laughs. Humor abounds in quirky details—avian creatures named after Downton Abbey characters, Tenny’s formal inner dialogue and love of the film Mary Poppins—while the siblings’ bickering, teasing, and supportive interactions ring true.” – Publisher’s Weekly * April 24, 2023 *“The writing is strong, and Lord Tennyson has an arch, competent manner in keeping with his professional role model, Mary Poppins….Chaotically entertaining.” – Kirkus Reviews * May 1, 2023 *
